Was Ryu cheating in Street Fighter 1?
-
When I was a teenager, an expert Street Fighter 1 player showed me something that to this day I cannot replicate, because Street Fighter 1 was actually an extremely difficult game to pull of the Dragon Punch. He could do it every time at will.
He told me to look at Ryu's right arm bracer when he did the Dragon Punch and look for a glint that looked like a blade. I remember actually seeing something for a brief moment. Also, the Dragon Punch was the only way to defeat Sagat in Street FIghter 1 (Adon also needed it most of the time). When he dragon punched Sagat, you can see in a bit more detail that it really looks like Ryu was hiding a knife in his arm bracer.
Would it be possible for someone with more MAME knowledge and the right hardware to slow MAME's processing (not the FPS) down enough and use a programmable controller to replicate the Dragon Punch and see if this is actually true?

@VictimRLSH With a keyboard you can pause the game (P) and run it frame per frame (K), it should help you figuring this out.

Thanks, now I have to try pulling off the move, Hadouken in that game are hard enough to do.

I found a video but can't see it here.

Sounds more like a Mandela Effect to me :p

@matchaman LOL, but I HAVE seen something unrelated I believe to be a Mandela Effect phenomena. Both cases may just be me imagining things...

@matchaman @VictimRLSH I didn't know that this effect has a name. Now I do, thanks! :)
